Presentation

AODB, Alliance Of Digital Builders, est une ESN de nouvelle génération qui répond aux enjeux d'ultra spécialisation et de grande complexification du secteur digital. Notre ambition est de réunir les meilleures agences, branche par branche, afin de créer une offre globale et ultra spécialiste taillée pour les projets d’envergures.
La stratégie d’AODB consiste ainsi à réunir le meilleur de 2 mondes : d’un côté, le monde des agences expertes, représentatives de l’expertise de pointe et de l’innovation, de l’autre, le monde de la grande entreprise du numérique taillée pour les grands projets d’envergure en raison de sa capacité de gestion et d’engagement.
C’est pourquoi nous concevons notre organisation de façon horizontale afin que chaque dirigeant des entreprises composant AODB fasse partie d’une communauté de dirigeants qui s’entraident, se conseillent et dirigent ensemble l’entreprise au travers d’une gouvernance collaborative.
Chez AODB, les dirigeants conservent ainsi leur capacité de gestion et ont les pleins pouvoirs de leurs entreprises du moment qu’ils respectent des critères de collaboration communs que nous avons collectivement décidés.
AODB c’est aussi 18 années d’expérience du digital, portée par 250 collaborateurs, chacun expert dans son domaine, opérants dans 8 entités distinctes et autonomes réalisant 24 M€ de CA en 2023, chiffre d’affaires que le groupe entend doubler sur les 5 prochaines années.
Notre groupe est entré dans une phase de croissance depuis 2022, soutenue par un programme d’acquisition de sociétés spécialisées et d’investissement de 1,5M€/an sur des créations d’entreprises nouvelles par Spin-off et des projets d’innovations, dans l’objectif de devenir une entreprise leader de la maîtrise des dernières technologies et usages du numérique, tel que dans les domaines de l’IA, du Cloud et de la Cybersécurité.
